My main memory of the public hysteria in the aftermath of Di's death: a colleague saying "You can understand how the Nazis gained power by manipulating emotions." Cue horrified silence from *most* of m'colleagues. 🀣

Seems like some kind of metaphor. Spent the day of the funeral in Bath with an ex-girlfriend. Ignored it all.
